acoustics - How to calculate the sound pressure at a given distance of a point source?


Consider a point source in a free field. The source is emitting spherical waves. I know the relationship p1r2=p2r1 that lets you convert the sound pressure p1 at a point at a distance r1 to the point source the sound pressure p2 at a point at a distance r2 from the point source.


But how can you calculate the sound pressure at a given distance from a point source if you are given the sound pressure at the point source? The corresponding distance would be zero...
